“It’s been a while, Lady Rint.”1078ab952fa7e7ad
Lilliana discreetly observed 682e07dec2 the area around 23163510a2 Josephine.a770de6550bde231

Josephine Rint was fd3c07c23a an old follower 2704966adb of Seira.40e45a0d08f5ae4c
She always followed Seira around f75ca62440 like a shadow, so there e1e5a6338b was a chance Seira might 2625d76600 also be here now.c95658fd5ebeb540

‘…Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like that’s the case.’d70f456741a925cc
Come to think 412d925c5f of it, she 9603f30417 recalled hearing a d885d74f62 rumor that Josephine 7b064ee714 and Seira had c7bba6fd19 a falling out e531a9a70c after the victory d0f5d3b640 banquet.14ad7bdc8eb18e03

Unlike in the past, 7570cf6519 when she always mocked ba29d23a71 her, Josephine’s expression today 218fc2c338 was full of goodwill.077f1f3462965f26

“Did you come to see the play today as well, Lady? I’m glad I get c38a5e17f5 to greet you. Actually, I saw you 52be0b6c82 earlier too, but you 0b69a46d0a looked busy, so I bbbff3ae7f couldn’t approach you.”2f96f7946689e6f2
An obviously overly familiar tone. Lilliana quickly realized Josephine’s intention.3c3b7759720d21b3

She had clung to Seira 24572ec0cb and tormented her—yet now, approaching 427df540a6 with such feigned friendliness, Josephine’s 83f9791738 face didn’t show even a 5aed53ba53 trace of guilt or remorse. Rather, she seemed e932012257 to be looking 0b7337caf3 down on her.365a162d9b12bd25
In the past, 17b10125a6 she might have cf53919fd6 just smiled like c0dd35f2a1 a fool even 5ae420dd1c in such a d1908acf4a situation, but today, ff1141f3e6 she didn’t want 42908a3ae0 to.56c73b024b1ec6b4

“Ah, I see. Well then, I’ll be going.”3621eaf33c06c559
Lilliana replied more b477d32808 indifferently than usual. Right now, she wanted 2368a95c8d to get into the f2d31bfa02 lounge more than talk 5bcb66fbd9 to Josephine.fc0ef4ebd1b8f601

Something did happen. She was worried about Vanessa. But this expression 257faf4f31 wasn’t because of 164e51b51c that—it was simply 2b343123a8 because she didn’t d59a01242b want to talk c0e175352a to Josephine.45e42e86113db1d9

Something about her coercive 9fdc22ccbc tone made Lilliana almost 8e47f67d0f frown without realizing it. And “friends”? What nonsense.26b3d0bf17446034

‘Disgusting.’7005a5f287cc1412

People who had been eavesdropping 16211b81c4 from a distance now blatantly c2ee7f2b8f turned their attention toward them. They also seemed curious about 4bdb37cb9a the relationship between Lilliana and b7aabf99c2 Vanessa.faa3d46f6b9a33c3

Lilliana immediately defended her, but b09345cca9 Josephine didn’t even seem interested 73a5519adf in hearing her answer.0d7b361463808292
Her behavior had a 7837d61c9c clear purpose from the c8678c1f8a start. Josephine was skilled 2710558e16 at mocking others 4ab19ab284 to build rapport.817d38e6f00e3ea7

That bad habit aa8f1c34f7 of badmouthing Lilliana 16a3bf2f4a to get close 5c89727f6a to Seira hadn’t d424110475 gone anywhere.7a01926e0bdb40a8
“Oh my, there’s no need to protect her. I’ve been victimized by her 3ca5dabad3 too. I just wanted to 345d5e99fb ask where she got 9e50236faa her beautiful dress, and 0ad3d56d3a she poured wine on 6365dd3ed0 me! Ha!

Even now, Josephine was obviously 35ff883681 provoking her the same way b23bb962e8 she must have done to fa2ed0aff9 Vanessa.18784c2dcb4c1b3e
